    Exhaust manifold recall

    You are reminding me of what it was like to maintain vehicles up north vs down here in the South. I am spoiled now. Everything about a vehicle last so much longer.

    Exhaust manifold recall

    Meanwhile, you could have ordered one yourself months ago for around $65, changed it out in an afternoon and moved on with your life.

    Towing without Air Suspension

    I was going to say, prior to the factory air suspensions, I had Firestone airbags on all my 1500/2500 trucks for 20+ years. They are an excellent solution and it doesn't take long to figure out how much air you need for any particular load. I never bought the on-board compressor setup but played...

    How dark are the back windows tinted to and will ceramic tint up front match close enough to the back?

    The brow is subjective to driver height and seat adjustment. Pretty sure you are a few inches over 6' where I'm 5'9 so our perspectives are somewhat different. I very seldom use my visors but would never need to if my brow was an inch lower. My tint guy talked me out of it but I wish I had stuck...

    How dark are the back windows tinted to and will ceramic tint up front match close enough to the back?

    Mine is 32% on the fronts, 18% on the rears but the back still looks darker. I'm 70% on the windshield and 18% on the Pano sunroof.

    Backseat Footwell Lights?

    Not sure what other trims have it but my 2017 and 2019 Limited's both had the rear footwells lit up with their Ambient lighting package. Paragoptics offers an ambient lighting upgrade kit for trucks that didn't come with it but like all their products, it is quite pricey...

    23 Limited Ambient lighting question

    My 2019 has one on either side of the cluster so they must have made some changes to placement.

    how soon did you replace the OEM tires?

    I don't think mine lasted 25K miles, 13 - 24,000 miles, OEM Goodyear Eagle Touring (Treadwear = 500) 24,000 - 46,000 miles, BFG Advantage T/A's (Treadwear = 700) 46,000 - 104,000 miles, Michelin Defender LTX's (Treadwear = 720) 104,000 - TBD miles, Michelin Defender LTX 2's (Treadwear = 820)

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    According to Tire rack, 18's are only a dollar cheaper. Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 275/65-18 = $285.99/each 275/55-20 = $286.99/each 285/45-22 = $349.99/each I just bought another set of Michelin Defender LTX's in 305/45-22 and they were $1600, not including the alignment afterwards. Michelin...

    Electrical question

    It will not have anything to do with Alpha OBD at that point. Insert a fuse and check for power.

    Electrical question

    Depending on your trim level, there may be wires in the harness for that feature already and a fuse spot already designated. Might be worth the time looking for a wiring schematic for your truck and see if you get lucky.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    That was a thought but it was a one time deal so a $3000 solution to an $80 problem ain’t in the cards. [emoji3061] The time to have bought a trailer was a year ago when we started on this property. Had my eye on a few on Marketplace but the prices are stupid these days and I can't make up my...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I gave the air ride another fault code today. Perhaps my sketchiest load yet but I was too committed to back down once I had it half loaded. Took it easy coming home and it all worked out. Truck handled it just fine but I had to be over the max payload on this one by at least 10%.

    Ram Pulls The Covers Off Of The Updated 2025 Ram 1500

    I hadn’t really thought about it until I read through the spec sheet today. Makes sense though. It was also worded similar to how the Hemi is stated to require Mid grade fuel to achieve all the performance specs, stated mileage and engine longevity, while still leaving the option to run a lesser...

    Ram Pulls The Covers Off Of The Updated 2025 Ram 1500

    The HO requires premium fuel as well.

    Second tank was an anomaly. The other three tanks are mostly interstate at 74MPH. 16.1 was a combination of I16 and I95 at 79MPH. The 16.6 and 17.3’s were on 441 with the cruise set at 74MPH.

    I say I'd be happy with either but I haven't driven one with the 3.21's to know if I actually would be. I do love the grunt off the line with the 3.92's but I also spend so much time at highways speeds that I have to wonder if my mileage could be better. If MPG was truly the same, then it would...

    I have a bedslide in my current truck so I always drop the tailgate and pull out the slide to access most things. I'd be curious if the MFT improved access enough that I would ever consider parting with the bedslide.?.?.? There's been many times I could have used another couple inches under the...

    Same here, and I didn't see an option to delete it from the build. Ramboxes on a limited is a deal breaker for me. Make them standard on a WT but they make zero sense on a luxury model. I sorta feel the same way for the MFT but I'm going to let that one slide because while I don't care for it, I...
